Singin' in the Rain

Made at the height of the golden era of MGM musicals, Singin' in the Rain is a charming blend of comedy and showstopping song and dance numbers, with some entertaining film history thrown in to boot. This look at the bumpy transition from silent to talking motion pictures comes complete with a string of popular songs from the studio's repertoire including the title number, "Good Morning," "You Are My Lucky Star," and one of star/co-director Gene Kelly's trademark splashy ballet numbers. Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor and Oscar nominee Jean Hagen also appear in what is now often regarded as the most perfect example of the classic studio musical.
